Hello!

 

As the title states, I am moving my Unraid server to a new case and I have (hopefully) a simple question. I have three 1 TB HDD's in my array and a 120GB SSD for my cache. Would Unraid freak out if the HHD's or SSD is in a different SATA port or should I try my best to plug the HHD's and SSD to the same SATA port when I move my server?

 

Thanks,

Mark

Take a screen shot of the MAIN tab in unRAID that shows your drives. unRAID keeps track of drives via drive serial numbers. I don't believe it matters which SATA ports you plug the drives into, as long as the parity drive remains the same after the move, you should be fine.

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification  I have backups just in case things go south

Virtually of the time, it will restart looking identical to the way it was when you shut it down.  (unRAID remember the array location for each drive by its serial number.)   I, (personally), would run a parity check both before and after the move.  Then turnoff the auto start of the array before shutting it down for the move.  (If something should go wrong, I would rather be looking at a problem knowing that I taken every possible precaution to eliminate possible causes of the issue.)
